And BTW, I’m not a “Scotsman.” I’m an American and don’t suck up to European identity garbage.

Hey fertilizer, I do believe that your bloviating self is getting mad. HAHAHA!
“...say that a small family needs an acre.” Gee, I guess that leaves out just about everybody in the city and most of suburbia. What was that I said about not very well, not very long, etc.?
“I grew and stored more than a family needs each year from a 75’x100’ garden for several years with no failures.” Well I already knew that cuz you’re the worlds expert, fertilizer, but it isn’t just about YOU! The rest of the populace that manages to grow stuff, however, may have problems. You know, bugs, disease, water problems, animals, bad weather at the wrong time, not to mention thieves. But, as the world’s expert I’m sure that you’ve taken that into consideration. No wait. Doesn’t look like the expert did. Oh, well.
“The old men from WWII and the Korean War were right, BTW.” They raised the baby boomer generation, BTW. What was it they were right about?
“The older half of Baby Boomers even steal through senior citizens discounts on property taxes in at least a few counties. I know that’s wrong, even though I’m very near being old enough to join in on that racket. I don’t want it.”
I haven’t been able to “join in on that racket”, either.
So, since when is not getting screwed by the govt on taxes considered theft by the screwed? Why is keeping more of the money you’ve earned a “racket”?
I can only conclude from that statement that you are in favor of heavy taxation, that the govt has a right to people’s money, and that it is a good thing to tax the elderly out of their homes.
What kind of IRS bootlicking statist, cockroach are you anyway?
Besides being a self centered, egotistical fop, you’ve revealed yourself to be a liberal. I should have known that when you went John F. Kerry on me.
Get lost, liberal.

Raising property taxes on working younger people to support lazy Baby Boomers is theft. The thieves are more like commies—not those who are forced to support them.

"They raised the baby boomer generation, BTW. What was it they were right about?"

Veterans of WWII and the Korean War didn't raise the Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers, because of their rebellion against their parents, were mostly raised by public school teachers and their own peers.

I don't have any respect for incontinent hippie talk and projections. The Baby Boomer SDS was not a good source of behavior for discussion.

$50/hr. Heh! I remember my grandma (a very rich lady) telling me about the days when she didn’t make that much in a month, working full time. She made sure we all understood how many drops of sweat equal one dollar — the rate determined by one’s work ethic.

[stephenjohnbanker]

This just shows you how far gone McCain is.

[PIF]

And at a quarter of $50 hr, I'd be getting a very nice raise... I think everyone there knew that McShill would be unwilling/unable to actually pay all of them year in year out $50 hr, and saw him for the phony he is.

[Tribune7]

I’d do it, if someone is dumb enough to pay me that.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Che McCain

[stephenjohnbanker]

Can you picture 1000 people showing up at McCains office with signs “Will work for you for $50.00 an hour”. Hayworth would have a red letter day!

[LomanBill]

[Unbelievable how out of touch Mccain is with working Americans.]

Not really. McWeevil was born with a silver McSpoon in his mouth. He's a prime example of the failure of the GOP pedigreed poodle puppy mill.

I’ll repeat myself. Get lost liberal. You are a despicable statist. Shame on you for even entering this site. Go find some old people to rip off with your thieving tax schemes.

“Veterans of WWII and the Korean War didn’t raise the Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers, because of their rebellion against their parents, were mostly raised by public school teachers and their own peers.”
Uh, who allowed that? The parents, moron.
Do you realize how stupid you appear? Do you? Obviously not, because you keep runnung your mouth and shooting yourself in the foot.
What do you expect from a pro tax liberal schmuck like you.

[Scotsman will be Free]

Who’s raising the taxes, moron? The govt, you fool.
Get lost you statist swine.

"I’ll repeat myself. Get lost liberal. You are a despicable statist. Shame on you for even entering this site...What do you expect from a pro tax liberal schmuck like you...Who’s raising the taxes, moron? The govt, you fool. Get lost you statist swine."

You wrote personal insults in your replies against my opinion in favor of becoming more self-sufficient and spending less in order to decrease revenues to the government. You even said that people cannot grow enough to feed themselves. That was not a statement of encouragement for American ingenuity, good work ethic or conservatism.

You've advocated legalizing illegal drugs in other threads. You expressed a generalized contempt and rebellion against the teachings of our parents' generation. You've posted name-calling, dishonesties and projections. You've ordered me to leave the Free Republic forum, although you have no such authority. You advocated raising property taxes on most people to subsidize Baby Boomer taxes. You've exhibited an accurate enough profile of your real opinions for anyone who wants to read my arguments and your flames.

I am telling you to stop directing your insults and libels at me. If you won't be civil, find someone else to chat with. I'm an honest conservative and don't want to discuss anything with you.

[Scotsman will be Free]

This is no insult. It is a fact. You are a liar.
You are also on permanent ignore.

$50 and hour? That’s $400 a day, $2000 a week, or $104,000 a year.
